Need to back off a bit? Our Gentle Yoga incorporates different styles that reduce strain on the body while gently building strength, stamina, and increasing your range of motion. Some classes are focused on the more therapeutic aspects of the physical practice, while others make use of a chair or other props to work poses that may otherwise be too strenuous. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, or you’ve had a tough day, Gentle Yoga might be just what you need.

This is a class meant to be practiced at night time. Sometimes it can be hard to slow down after a fun day! Yoga and meditation can help us wind down our minds and our bodies, and help us get ready for a good night's sleep. We will start with getting all the wiggles out and end in a calming, mindful body scan. You can even do this class on your bed. Sweet dreams!

If you feel stiff anywhere in your back side - from head to toe - you may have more than one place that's a little stuck. This practice takes you through lots of variations on some basics to find the sneaky spots where tightness can linger. The great thing about variations is we don't get so caught up in doing it right and we have more freedom to just move in ways that feel right for us. This can really free us up to notice the changes in our breath that cue the shifts in sensation. Trusting our breath helps us to trust ourselves and our bodies. Oh, what a release that is!

Take a moment to slow down and tune in. This practice will move you through a variety of postures intended to help you wake up the spine, hips, shoulders and hamstrings, priming your mind and body for a deeper practice. If you're new to yoga, listen to your body and only take these postures as far as feels right! If you feel any pain at all, you've gone too far. Enjoy!

The more you sit, the tighter your hips get, and often, the more your back hurts! So don't just sit there...use your chair to open your hips and release your back with dynamic movement! Whether you can't get down on the floor or you're just looking for some simple movement between zoom sessions...this practice works to open the hips while protecting the knees. These movements also secretly build strength in your hips and core. There is nothing like moving on the breath, starting where you are and feeling the freedom of movement to help you recognize you are not stuck! Learn it at home and take it with you on your next road trip! 2 blocks are helpful, but you can also improvise!

Sometimes we all feel a little stuck - at home, on the road or in a rut. I find doing something familiar in a new way gets me motivated and moving. Familiar is soothing. New is inspiring. This session guides you through familiar poses, like bridge, with some different variations and props to keep it interesting... and to keep you moving! Use a couple of pillows and a towel to get cozy and relaxed at the end of this simple strengthening session.

This practice is a slow flow designed to gently release physical and emotional tensions around the heart. You can expect longer, slower holds in shoulder, upper back and chest openers. Allow the focus and re-focus of your practice to be your deep breathing. Release any blockages by softening on the exhales. Enjoy, yogis!

This is a practice that is all about calming the nervous system. We start with meditation and alternate nostril breathing to tune in and calm the nervous system. Then we move into some very gentle stretches and movement all designed to bring the focus into the body so we can quiet the mind. Whether you're having a day where your mind is racing, you're dealing with anxiety or insomnia, you need a gentle practice before bed. or you simply need an immediate nervous system reset, this is for you.
